A Great Night Out: Live Comedy in Portsmouth, NH
Looking for something different to do in Portsmouth?
Come early and enjoy a great, affordable dinner at the Roundabout Diner, then stay for the belly laughs at McCue’s Comedy Club.
Because food is not served during the comedy show, arriving early gives you time to relax over dinner before taking your seat for the performance.
On Saturday, September 26 at 8:00 PM, comedian and Boston Comedy Festival founder Jim McCue returns to the McCue’s stage for a night of stand-up, crowd work, and the kind of unexpected moments that only happen at a live show.
Dinner First, Comedy Next
McCue’s Comedy Club is located inside the Roundabout Diner, making it easy to plan a complete night out in one location.
Arrive early, enjoy an affordable dinner at the diner, and then head into the club for the show. Food is not served during the performance, so be sure to leave yourself enough time to eat before the comedy begins.
It is an easy plan for a date night, birthday celebration, friends’ night out, or the people you keep saying you should get together with.
Nobody has to dance, play trivia, or participate in an awkward team-building game. Have dinner, find your seats, and let the comedians do the work.
Why Every Live Comedy Show Is Different
Streaming comedy can be fun, but it cannot recreate the feeling of an entire room laughing together.
At a live show, the audience becomes part of the energy. A spontaneous comment, unusual occupation, late laugh, or brave person in the front row can take the show somewhere nobody expected.
That is especially true when Jim McCue is onstage.
Known as Boston’s King of Clean Crowd Work, Jim combines prepared stand-up with quick audience interaction. No two performances are exactly alike because no two audiences are alike.
The jokes created in the room on September 26 will only happen once. You have to be there.

Make the Plan Before Saturday Arrives
Comedy tickets are easy to put off. Then Saturday arrives, the good seats disappear, and the group chat turns into a last-minute search for backup plans.
Skip that part.
Choose your people, get your tickets, and make a dinner plan at the Roundabout Diner. Just remember to arrive early enough to finish eating before the show starts.
